Clinton, Mississippi

7 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 5 Black River will be a catalyst for the City of Clinton to grow,” says Lang, “allowing us to expand our reach and get those utilities in place to expand our industrial park right along the Interstate 20 corridor. It’s a huge project but if we aren’t working with the legislature to get the money to do these huge improvements then it will set us back further on growth. It’ll allow us to think 30, 40, or 50 years down the road. We have the plans, we just need to make sure we have the funding in place.” Broadband connectivity is a necessity these days, and Clinton is pleased to have a fast and reliable connection throughout the entire city – something they don’t have to worry about as much as other rural communities because they have the advantage of being close to the metro area. The city is also planning on having electric vehicle charging stations within a year at certain locations along the interstate for people to hop off, charge their car, and spend time shopping JACKSON, MS METROPOLITAN 61% RATE MEAN COMMUTE TIME OF 26 MINUTES MEDIAN AGE 36.4 • INTERSECTION OF INTERSTATES 20 & 55 527,727 EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT 89.1%HIGH SCHOOL OR HIGHER HOME TO 9 COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES WITH MORE THAN 40,000 STUDENTS LABOR FORCE STATISTICAL AREA Learn more at JXNMETRO360.com
